REALIZATION
What if I told you, you could change your life with a few steps?
I won’t use the cliché “simple” because as you probably already know that if
change was always simple more people would do like Nike says and “Just Do It.”
What if we all truly understood the importance’s of steps?
And that steps either take us closer to where we want to be or further from
where we should go?
What if we began to look at steps from a different
perspective? What if you decided to make each step you take something personal?
For you see when you make something personal, you give it life. What if you saw each step as your baby and what do we do with our babies we name them. So how about
if each step had names like:
1.
Realization
2.
Identification
3.
Courage
4.
Strength
5.
Sacrifice
6.
Willingness
7.
Openness
8.
Faith
9.
Perseverance
10.
Wisdom
11.
Humility
12.
Revelation
If you tackle all of these steps, at once it can be overwhelming and paralyzing. So you are not overwhelmed by the entire process, what
if we started by taking just one step at a time. Let’s make Step 1. REALIZATION. What does that mean? When you
truly want change in your life, to me realization is the moment of absolute
honesty. It is when you recognize and acknowledge that all is not well and that
something needs to shift. It is the moment of self-awareness that can propel
you forward or cause you to begin to tail spin where you hibernate because you
can’t or won’t handle the truth.
Realization is that step that starts it all, and for some
the hardest. Why? Because once you know something, no matter how hard you try,
no matter how deep you bury it, no matter how far you run from it, you can
never truly un-know it. So how about you
stop hiding in the shadows. Step into the light and fight past the fear. Only
when you can acknowledge the things that hold you back will you give yourself the
power to make the first step to change your life.
